Joaquín Escuder - It's all strokes
Director Jean-Marc Chouvel
Countries France, Spain
Duration 88 min
Synopsis
The Spanish painter Joaquín Escuder produces a series of paintings on paper in a workshop of the south-west FR. This is an opportunity for reflection on painting, look, and the musical imagination that may be associated to them. By delivering a testimony of his reflection on the act of painting Joaquín Escuder allows us to understand how, from a capture of reality and its strength, a minimum material may give rise to a whole universe. The motion picture follows, in complicity with a music that is also minimal, the elements of this vision. Throughout the film, the "brush stroke" is the main character of a space writing that converts itself into an incredible ballet of sound colors and gestures.
